Yes! They could make all tickets non-transferable with your name printed on it. I guess legally they would need to allow people to ask for a refund if they do not agree to the new terms. I imagine a big portion of those (scalpers) would ask for a refund....

Or, if they could get BLM permission they could open up ticket sales, top tier, one per person, and sell as many as people want. Then, all those people who bought more tickets than they need would be stuck with them. Maybe BMORG would end up selling 80,000 tickets and only 60,000 people would show up.

Using the last few years attendance as a guide suggests maybe, what, 60, 000 to 70,000 max from typical growth?

ePlaya reminds me a of a big riot, where some person shouts something and everyone suddenly goes into a panic.

you place an inordinate amount of trust in a system that so far has been a total and utter disaster. How many people with extra tickets do you think are going to use STEP when 70% of their friends/campmates don't have tickets? And how many people will be offering tickets on STEP when bmorg is charging a "restock fee" for the privilege of selling these ticket when they can go on craigslist or ebay and sell it face value with no fee or sell it a much higher value.....

ePlaya reminds me of the BM LLC Department of Defense sometimes with people crawling out of the woodwork to poopoo anyone's complaints and vigorously defend the bmorg...
